This is actually a decent beer, it just suffers from mislabelling . Its certainly not a bipa. Just an amber ipa with a fruity, tropical nose and a bitter grapefruit finish. Good balance, and a little better than the lone pine. Just needs some brand rethinking or this one will suffer from a few bad ratings. Cask at Brothers bistro.

(Cask at Brydens, Toronto ON, June 20 2013) Pours a deep amber with a decent off-white cask froth. Aroma malty, caramel, slight roast, fresh green hops. Flavour has sweet malts, toffee and some light roasted notes, some pine, moderately bitter, fairly light finish without overpowering hops. Body light and oily, smooth cask carb. Is definitely not a black IPA, more of a black and tan. OK for what it is, given I don’t much like the brewer, but I think I’m lenient given that after 4 great beers before this I was in a forgiving mood...
